"I would thoroughly recommend Ruth at Heirloom London, who added a hinge to my ring in February 2024. Due to arthritis, the joints in my fingers had swollen to such an extent that the ring would no longer fit and I thought I would never be able to wear jewellery again. Her efforts have changed all of that. Having the opportunity to wear a ring that I love again is wonderful. My hand no longer feels bare and ugly and I no longer feel the need to hide it away. The quality of the mechanism is also excellent. The clasp is so discrete that no-one would ever know that it is there. Her jeweller added the hinged shank to the setting perfectly. The shoulders were shaped to match the design of the existing ring and, although the band is slightly thicker to cater for the hinge, the difference is barely noticeable - it would be hard for anyone to know that it is not the same ring. Putting it on could not be more straightforward. As taking it off is easier with a spare pair of hands, my husband usually helps. He finds it simple to release the clasp using the stylus and to flip open the hinge with a fingernail. I cannot emphasise enough just how pleased I am with the ring and with Heirloom London. I honestly thought my days of wearing rings were over. Ruth has been brilliant throughout. It was a delight to meet her and her levels of customer service are exemplary. I hope to see her again soon with another ring and would recommend her and the hinged mechanism to anyone suffering from arthritis or swollen finger joints."

"Miracle worker!\r\n\r\nRuth made an already daunting process of proposing very stress free and easy. When I first met Ruth, I was clueless about rings and diamonds, and didn\u2019t know where to start. She took the time to educate me on the subject and guided me through the process. During the final stages, Ruth took my ramblings and turned it into a piece of art; she created exactly what I wanted and I have a very happy fianc\u00e9."

"Ruth deserves more than 5 stars! Having worked with various jewelers, she stands out as the best for crafting unique items. Ruth's exceptional ability to capture requested details is truly impressive. I've been delighted with the several items she's created for me. I highly recommend Ruth for any jewelry needs."

"Ruth helped me rebuild and redesign my wife's broken engagement ring.\r\nFrom start to finish the service was professional. She made me feel at ease with the decisions I was making and helped with her advise and expertise. Both me and my wife are over the moon with the end product. Ruth has earned me plenty of brownie points with the Mrs. I would 100% use heirloom london again."

"Designing a ring with Ruth was a joy from the start. She put me at ease with her bountiful knowledge and easy going manner, guided me through what would work and what might no, and the ring at the end was far better than I could\u2019ve imagined.\r\n\r\nCan not recommend her highly enough. \r\n"
